Kia Sorento is a capable vehicle

This is the ninth model year for the made-in-West Point-Georgia KIA Sorento, so a little freshening was in order, but not too much.

Actually it’ll take an educated eye to see the changes from ’18 to’19. Modest changes to the bumpers, bigger alloys, slightly better handling, and the usual interior changes pretty much sum it up. And that’s OK, as the Sorento didn’t really need a whole lot of change. After all, the Sorento is KIA’s top-selling SUV and seems to always be on their Top-5 Best Selling Models list.

Its’ size is one of the reasons. Somewhere between 6-12inches shorter than many of its’ competitors, the “Mama Bear” sized Sorento is much easier to fit into the average garage than some. Yet it’s still a 7-seater. And therein lies its’ appeal.

A base “L” model Sorento with a 185 HP four cylinder will list in the mid to high $20s. You’ll get a new 8-speed automatic with those 185 HP, but don’t plan to do any heavy-duty towing with that set up. Opt for the 290 HP 3.3 V-6 instead. It’ll cost you 3 MPG, getting 19 City and 24 Highway, and you’ll be able to tow up to 3,500 lbs. Now you’re in low $30s pricing, but you’ll be picking up some of the options and features that most have come to expect these days.

Want leather? Mid $30’s. Want everything? Now that’s going to push you into the high $40’s, but yes, you WILL have darned near everything, including chrome 19s, Harman Kardon Premium audio, Android and Apple Car Play, heated and ventilated Nappa leather front seats, “Surround View”, panoramic sunroof, and all today’s expected safety assists.

Now, a Chevy Tahoe can haul more and tow more, but KIA’s Sorento is a pretty capable vehicle in it’s own right, and as such, high $40’s may not be too much, it may just be a bargain.
